Who buys the new electric car in Spain: private, company and fleets · 2022

How many new electric cars each type of buyer registers in Spain — private individuals, companies, leasing (renting), rental fleets and taxis — with the brand and model ranking for each. In Spain, company and fleet channels move a large share of the BEV market, so who registers a car tells you as much as how many.

Leasing and rental: the layers inside company

How companies register. The layers overlap — a car can be both on leasing and registered to a company — so they don’t add up.

  • Company 16,070baseline
  • Leasing (renting) 5,42333.7% of company
  • Rental 1,81211.3% of company

All on the same scale, with company as the baseline. Leasing and rental are layers inside company: they’re compared against it, not a split of it.
